Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Coca-Cola
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for batter)
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add Coca-Cola, milk, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium heat until the oil reaches 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Step 5

Transfer the batter to a squeeze bottle or piping bag with a medium round tip. Alternatively, you can use a large zip-top bag with a small corner cut off.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, carefully squeeze the batter into the oil in a swirling, freeform pattern to create the classic funnel cake shape. Start from the center and spiral outward, then crisscross over the batter to form a sturdy lattice.

Step 7

Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to carefully flip the funnel cake halfway through cooking.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the funnel cake from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 10

Dust the warm funnel cakes generously with powdered sugar before serving. Optionally, serve with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or fruit toppings for extra indulgence.
